Release notes for MECCA 2000 version 5.14.  Feb/28/2012


Fixed:

1. The custom program bprt has been updated to match newer Tcl's run-time
   behavior regarding end-of-file condition (bprt).

2. Custom dot data were not correctly saved (m2kbin, preview, dmbin).

3. Type 1 font installation utility did not recognize an AFM file
   correctly since v5.12 release (t1font.tcl).


Changed/New:

1. In the Window dialog, "Spot" mode has been changed to "Layer".  This
   is only a naming change, to better describe the on-screen coloring
   behavior (i.e., based on layer color assignments), no functional change
   was introduced (window.tcl).

2. Added option for the file-save dialog to prohibit overwriting an
   existing file (dbox.tcl).

3. The language "Combine Color Table" in the Combine File dialog, has
   been changed to "Use New Layer Table", to exactly reflect what it
   means.  There's no functional change (combinefile.tcl).

4. Also for combining an external drawing file, there is now a new
   option "Keep Mis-matched Colors" (m2kbin, combinefile.tcl).

   A "mis-matched color" means a color having the same color number,
   but different CMYK combinations, from that defined in fcp01 chart
   (or that of an existing color).  For example, if color 109 is ued in
   current drawing, and it has CMYK (0 15 84 0); if in another drawing
   file color 109 exists with CMYK (0 17 80 5), that latter "color 109"
   is a mis-matched color.

   When combining, with this option off, CMYK definitions of mis-matched
   colors are ignored: "color 109", for example, will all be the original
   109.  This is the historical (standard) color treatment in MECCA.

   With this option on, a mis-matched color will be mapped to a different
   color number (in the range of 32768+), but its CMYK will be retained.
   Similar to opening a drawing file which contains mis-matched colors
   (as compared to fcp01).
